About our hog roast hire in Eyhorne Street
Hiring a hog roast means a whole hog cooked slowly on site, for hours, under a gazebo outside. Then our chef carves it and the team serves it in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and a piece of crackling. We’re frequently asked to cater birthdays and anniversaries and wakes and memorial gatherings, serving crackling, coleslaw and spit-roast lamb.
Somewhere like Eyhorne Street, a yard or firm field frequently works. Mention gates and soft ground when you contact us. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.
How it works
Expect a calm, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we have agreed, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. Evenings in Eyhorne Street stay light until about 9:15pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:00pm; after dark, the serving area and the path to it need good lighting.
- You share the when, where and how many.
- We check the space and quote.
- We get the roaster going hours before you eat.
- The chef carves and the team fills rolls or plates.
- We pack away and leave you to it.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches

For planners, venues and organisers
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Prices and what affects them
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Numbers
- Access to the cooking area
- Season and day of the week
Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Roughly how many people
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- The date and time of the event
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
For a quote, send us a few details: the date and serving time, the venue or ME17 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Use our quote form.

Your questions about a hog roast in Eyhorne Street
Can you cater after a service at All Saints Church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
What is hog roast hire?
We roast on site, carve to order and serve, in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling.
How do we prepare?

Will people get crackling?
It is: slow roasting crisps the skin and we break it up for everyone.
Can you cook a hog roast in a small garden?
Often, yes, if there is a level, open spot away from the house and trees, and a way to wheel the equipment through. Send us a photo.
What do people get?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
How soon do you get booked up?
Popular dates go early. But it’s always worth asking: fill in our quote form.
What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Somewhere nearby to park our vehicle
- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before you book.
